    Chapter 686


    Isaac watched as she peeled an orange, with a hopeful smile on his face. “Can I have a piece?”


    It wasn’t about the fruit. He just wanted an excuse to interact with Brittany.


    Brittany offered him the remaining half of the orange, her fingertips lightly stained with the fresh juice


    from peeling it, giving them a translucent glow.


    As her fingers brushed his palm, Brittany quickly pulled her hand away, pretending to be nonchnt as


    she looked out the window.


    Biting into the juicy orange slice, the sweetness filled his mouth. Isaac wiped his fingers with a napkin.


    A warm sensation lingered on his palm.


    Through the rear-view mirror, Isaac watched as Brittany bent over, carefully adjusting Daniel’s jacket.


    Her slender fingers moved gracefully, revealing the prominent bones of her knuckles.


    Brittany noticed his gaze and bit her lower lip, trying to conceal her difort.


    Upon arriving at the kindergarten, Brittany quickly helped Daniel out of the car, while Isaac drove off to


    park.


    “Bri.”


    As soon as they stepped out of the car, Brittany spotted Vi Miller with her daughter, Abby.


    Bruce, Vi’s husband, was also there.


    “Abby.” Daniel let go of Brittany’s hand and walked briskly over to Abby. He reached into his bag and


    pulled out a little cupcake. “For you.”


    Abby’s eyes twinkled as she gratefully epted the treat with a childish “thank you.”


    Brittany felt a pang of realization. So that’s why Daniel’s cupcake offering seemed so smooth earlier,


    he’d done it many times before!


    “Mr. Salter didn’te?”


    Vi looked around, failing to spot Isaac, and prepared tounch into a tirade.


    “He’s just parking the car.”


    Just then, Bruce’s phone rang. He apologized with a smile and walked away.


    Vi nced at Isaac, who had just arrived and smirked mockingly.


    “Mr. Salter, it’smendable that you put aside your busy schedule to participate in a parent-child


    event. How rare.”


    “Why don’t I call Wesley for you?”


    Isaac didn’t hesitate to return the banter. He had a hunch that Bruce wouldn’t have been able to


    apany Vi to the event today.


    Hisment caught Vi off guard, leaving her speechless and annoyed.


    Brittany cleared her throat, “We should head in.”


    “I’ll wait for Bruce here.”


    Daniel led Abby by the hand as Brittany and Isaac walked into the kindergarten.


    Brittany turned to Isaac. There was a hint of concern in her voice as she asked, “You didn’t really call


    Wesley, did you?”


    “I’m not that petty.”


    Inside the kindergarten, the yground was already set up for the event. The teachers were dressed in


    matching uniforms, bustling around in preparation.


    Brittany surveyed the scene, spotting numerous simple activities meant to foster family bonding and


    teamwork.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Vi was thest to walk in, then apanied by Wesley instead of Bruce. To add insult to injury,


    Wesley was even dressed in matching clothes with her, leaving Vi visibly disgruntled. However, she


    refrained from causing a scene in public.


    “Zac, Brittany, good morning.” Wesley cheerfully greeted them.


    Before Brittany could react, Vi pinched Wesley hard. “Shut up! Say one more word, and you can get


    out!”


    Upon receiving an urgent message, Bruce had to leave.


    The next second, Wesley showed up. It had to have been his doing!


    As Wesley took control of the situation, he held Vi’s hand, kissing it lightly. Vi blushed and


    scolded, “Wesley, have some decency!”


    “If you try to hit me again, I’ll kiss you right here!” Seeing her red-faced and flustered, Wesley couldn’t


    help but tease her more.


    “Shameless!”


    Knowing he would actually do it, Vi let go of his hand and took Abby to sit elsewhere.


    “Where’s Bruce?” Isaac was thoroughly entertained by the spectacle.


    “Does he deserve toe to my daughter’s parent-child event?” Wesley retorted.
